Hmm, maybe you could create a firefox_getLatestESR extension which does the same as firefox_getLatest but gives you the latest ESR version instead of the latest standard release version?

coreplayer2:
It's possible to use firefox_getLatest extension which has that option using the manual mode of operation, simply have to specify;

Start manual mode from the terminal with
--- Code: ---firefox_getLatest.sh -m
--- End code ---

Then when prompted:
--- Code: ---45.0esr
--- End code ---

But I hear you, a dedicated updater might be simpler

Yes, a dedicated one would definitely be better and would also mean less work for you, since you would no longer have to maintain the firefox-ESR.tcz each time there is a new ESR release :).

So, I would suggest to remove firefox-ESR.tcz and replace it with a dedicated firefox_getLatestESR.tcz.

@coreplayer2:

firefox_getLatest.tcz does no longer seem to work when running it from within Tiny Core Linux 5.x.

Is that to be expected?

Under 7.x it works, but not under 5.x.

coreplayer2:
Hi,  I think this has been asked before.

AFAIK submitted extensions only update their older versions within the current tinycore repository.   

There are enough architecture variables within the latest version to test for, I keep only the most current and prior versions available for testing.  However, folks can attempt to run the latest getFirefox extension and required deps in an older installation.
